Hello Friends,
The leaves have fallen and our plants have been brought inside. Now is the time to consider how our houseplants can become a focal point in our design and décor. Not just for their beauty, but for the many health benefits they offer!
Plants clean the air inside our homes and bring a welcome sense of calm to our living space.
A few suggestions:
Our dry winter houses are the opposite of what humidity loving tropical plants prefer, so consider hanging a tropical plant in your bathroom & let the humidity from the shower help it grow. This goes for air plants, too!
Having said that, succulents love the dry, warm air. However, they may need topping up with more frequent drinks as the soil can dry out quicker. (True cacti on the other hand should not be watered from November to March. If you're unsure which plant is which, send me a photo and I will help with any watering questions you may have.)
Place multiple plants in a corner or grouped on an end table to create a greenhouse-like space. Put a plant next to your bed for a natural air filter. Greenery can be up on pedestals and stands to enhance their beauty.
As we reconnect with nature indoors, we can cultivate a relaxed and welcoming environment by adding just a few living plants to green up our lives. Explore and enjoy!
